Pls recommend summer reading materials or workbooks for my soon to be 1st grader (for summer)

The underlying skill she needs to work on is associating letters with sounds, and then putting them together. She likely needs manipulatives. You should go Lakepointe Learning and find phonics games and activities. Workbooks are not going to be much of what she needs. Ask the teacher and reading specialist for suggestions. Make it fun. Anxiety can really hamper reading ability.

I don’t know which BrainQuest books you have tried, but I have found the summer workbooks are more engaging for my kids than the books labeled for a specific school year. So the “between K and 1st” book rather than either the kindergarten or the 1st grade book.

After we finished all three boxes of Bob books our next step was Elephant and Piggie. By the time our oldest had worked through those, he was starting to read more independently

This. It's a fabulous book. You can get it from the library. People always chime in with more complicated solutions, but this book is where it's at.

+1. Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons should be your first line when you have a kid not being properly taught to read in school. It's an awesome program, and fully scripted, so it is very, very easy to implement.
